Mr. President, The pager operation against Hezbollah was a masterpiece of modern warfare. Israel also executed a brilliant 12-day operation against Iran that left the regime in shock, its top generals assassinated, and the Ayatollahs held by the throat. Yet every time Israel had momentum, whether in Gaza, Lebanon, or against Iran, you personally intervened and stopped them at the worst possible moment. you were personally briefed by Mossad that defeating Iran would take at least a year of consistent pressure. Yet you pushed for quick results, changed the original plan, and turned what could have been a strategic victory into a strategic defeat. Now, after signing a humiliating deal that buried the Iranian nuclear threat instead of eliminating it, you come out blaming Israel for taking too long and for how it fights. The question of civilian casualties should be addressed to Hezbollah, not Israel. Hezbollah deliberately operates from within populated civilian areas, using civilians as human shields and endangering their own people. This strategic failure is not due to Israeli incompetence. The main problem has been your repeated intervention and bad timing. You don’t get to sabotage the campaign and then blame Israel for the results.

Surprise: it turns out the U.N. humanitarian grandee who announced “14,000 babies are going to die in 48 hours” has a soft spot for genocidal terrorist organization Hezbollah.

Jews had live in Hebron for 3,000 years continuously until 1928, when close to 70 Jews were killed and hundreds injured in a pogrom, and the rest were forced to flee so they wouldn't be killed, too. Jews not living in Hebron for less than 40 years doesn't make it an Arab city.

"A small minority" of nearly 50%.

SWEDEN JUST DREW THE LINE Sweden is doing it. Finally. Parliament has just passed a law that lets the state revoke residence permits for bad behavior. And here is the part that matters - the behavior does not have to be criminal. Undeclared work. Unpaid debts. Tax evasion. Benefit fraud. Links to extremist organizations. That is enough. The law does not only cover new applications. It covers permits already granted. Retroactively. The principle is simple, and it should never have been controversial: a residence permit is a privilege, not a right. Anyone who lives off a society’s hospitality while working against that society’s laws and values has NO automatic claim to stay. Sweden has paid a high price to learn this. Now they are acting. The rest of Europe and the West should take note. Let’s go!🪽❤️‍🔥✝️

Qatar is everything Nazis imagine Jews to be: a small, hidden group wielding unimaginable influence over the West and the media through vast wealth and political power. They literally just bought the President of the U.S.

This wall in Jerusalem is older than the religion of Islam.

Years ago, I used to write about ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East for numerous publications Two things stuck with me from that experience: (1) Left-of-center and liberal publications had next to no interest in the topic. I remember having a working lunch with an editor at the New York Times Magazine and he clearly had zero interest in the topic. He probably knew his readership all too well (2) There is absolutely no real money to be made in writing about Assyrians, Copts, and Zoroastrians. The fact that this is the case is deeply shameful and demonstrates why so many craven academics gravitate toward Palestinianism. There is a lot of $$$ there. And yet the critics will maintain it's supporters of Israel who are doing it for money

For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks. It's dozens now. Maybe more. But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media. Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases. No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.

Join me in once again calling for the resignation of @TheLancet editor Richard Horton. Publishing a petition calling for the boycott of the Israeli Medical Association is an absolute disgrace. Medicine should bring physicians together in service of patients, not weaponize professional organizations for political campaigns. Just as it failed the public on the #COVID19 origins debate, The Lancet is again positioning itself as a political actor rather than a medical journal.

This is my favorite argument. In Hiroshima, roughly 140k people died due to the nuclear bomb out of 350k. That’s 40% of the city. In Nagasaki, 80k people died out of 263k. That’s 30% of the city. In Gaza, 73k people have died (according to GHM) out of 2.3 million. That’s about 3% of the population. A substantial percentage of that are terrorists. So Israel has dropped an amount of bombs on Gaza that exceeds the power of the nuclear bombs we dropped on Japan and yet the death toll is far lower both proportionally and on a raw numbers basis. How is that possible if Israel is committing genocide? Maybe it’s because they’re not.

British progressives were scandalized last week when 5Pillars, a prominent Muslim news organization known for supporting the U.K. Green Party, published a homophobic “guide” on navigating Pride month. The incident laid bare the intellectual and moral incoherence of Islamo-left alliance, providing a useful case study for Canadians who feel anxious about Muslim-led intolerance.

Sigue siendo el mejor vídeo de todos los tiempos. Medios estatales iraníes: “Ninguna bomba puede alcanzarnos porque Alá nos protege…” *Momentos después*

🕯️ Esta sinagoga no tiene electricidad. Nunca ha tenido electricidad. Cada viernes por la noche, el personal enciende más de mil velas a mano, y la habitación tiene exactamente como estaba en 1675. La sinagoga portuguesa en Ámsterdam, conocida como Esnoga, fue construida por la comunidad judía sefardí que había huido de la Inquisición española y portuguesa y encontró refugio en los relativamente tolerantes Países Bajos. Cuando se completó en 1675, fue una de las sinagogas más grandes del mundo, y fue construida por una comunidad de personas que habían pasado generaciones escondiendo quiénes eran, obligadas a practicar su fe en secreto bajo amenaza de muerte. El suelo de arena que cubre todo el interior es uno de sus rasgos más distintivos, y la razón de ello todavía se debate: algunos historiadores apuntan a la acústica, otros a las tradiciones de construcción holandesas de la época, y otros ven en ella una referencia a la errante del desierto Éxodo. Lo que no se debate es la luz. La decisión de nunca instalar electricidad fue deliberada, y el edificio sigue encendido hoy por 72 lámparas de aceite de latón y más de mil llamas de velas, tal como estaba el día en que se abrió. ✡️ Una comunidad que sobrevivió a la Inquisición escondiéndose construyó una de las sinagogas más magníficas del mundo en el momento en que fueron libres.

Friendly reminder that Turkey is a Central Asian settler colony in Anatolia that was created through the worst genocide in Middle Eastern history during which it murdered millions of Greeks, Armenians, and other Christians, and is currently occupying and colonizing two countries.

Two of the UMich Anti-Israel activists charged today talked about putting a victim’s “entire family” on a “hit list.” “Let’s get [V-4’s] kids,” one said. One of them, a med student, talked about poisoning another victim, and the other suggested burning that victim’s house down.

The DSA Left is a machine built to fight moderate Democrats in factional warfare. The DSA Left is not built to fight Republicans. It has no idea of its own points of vulnerability because moderate Ds never fight back very hard.

Mohsen Mahdawi is 34 years old. He first enrolled at Birzeit University in the West Bank in 2008 and studied there for six years. In 2018 he enrolled as an undergraduate at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He stayed there until 2021, and never earned a credential despite enrolling as a seventh year senior and being a full time student there for four years. Despite this extremely suspicious academic record, he was admitted as a transfer to Columbia University — a school which rejects over 97% of applicants — where he attended as an undergraduate for another four years. Columbia’s rules explicitly state that students must be progressing toward an on-time graduation, but they accepted Mahdawi as an eleventh year undergraduate and allowed him to remain a student in good standing even though he was evidently not maintaining a full course load. His student status was a pretext; he was acting as a full-time anti-American, anti-Jewish and pro-terrorism activist. Since he claims to be a Palestinian refugee, it is unclear who was paying his tuition or providing for his rent and expenses in New York City while he was engaged in subverting American institutions. He finally earned a bachelor’s degree in May 2025 from one of the top five American universities after 17 years as an undergraduate and was accepted to a master’s program at Columbia even though the State Department was already trying to deport him on national security grounds. Democrats at every level fought hard to keep him in the country.

In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and took possession of 37% of the country, gradually displacing 200,000 Greek Cypriots. There has since been an influx of Turkish settlers from the mainland, with as many as 500,000 Turks displacing the natives. How many times have we heard people talking about illegal Turkish settlers/colonizers? Almost never. Most people don’t even know about it.

When you understand that settler-colonial theory was invented by Fayez Sayegh in 1965, and that he had served as a senior figure in the SSNP — the Arab movement openly modeled on Nazism — the entire nativist fetish that settler-colonial theorists possess begins to look rather different. Suddenly, the obsession with soil, authenticity, roots, and the distinction between the native and the foreigner (who should be expelled), appears less like a language that passes for leftist liberation and sounds far closer to Nazi theory than its adherents would ever care to admit. Should we still then be expected to believe that is a mere accident that “Zionist colonialism” is the center piece of settler colonial thought?
